Portrait of Graham Greene

Graham Greene remains one of the twentieth century's most compelling British novelists, renowned for weaving moral complexity with taut storytelling. His works often explore faith, betrayal and political tension, set against vividly realised backdrops from war‑torn Europe to far‑flung colonial outposts. Readers are drawn to his sharp insight into the human condition and his ability to balance suspense with profound emotional depth.

Whether encountering the intrigue of his espionage tales or the introspection of his so‑called 'Catholic novels', Greene's writing continues to resonate with contemporary audiences. His prose is lean yet evocative, his characters flawed yet deeply human, ensuring that each story lingers long after the final page is turned.

    Book SynopsisFew novelists have taken films as seriously, or been closely involved in so many aspects of the film business all their lives, as Graham Greene. Even at University he was touching on it. His long-term experience of the evolving art included producing, performing, script-writing and adaptation. Not to mention the libel case against him brought by Miss Shirley Temple for some disobliging words. Mornings in the Dark gathers some of Greene's best film criticism with a mass of related material: his film articles, interviews, lectures and radio talks, stories for film, letters and film proposals. With appendices on Greene's own films and unfulfilled film projects, and David Parkinson's introduction, this is an essential collection for readers of fiction and film enthusiasts alike.Trade Review'I well remember, when I was beginning as a film critic, reading with the most passionate envy the writings of Graham Greene in the Spectator... [I]t struck me that this was the kind of thing that film criticism should be.' - Dilys Powell, The Listener

    Book SynopsisUn grupo de revolucionarios planea y lleva a cabo un secuestro con la intención de conseguir la libertad de sus correligionarios encarcelados; pero se equivocan de hombre. La víctima es Charles Fortnum, un hombre sin ningún interés para el gobierno británico: se trata sólo de un cónsul honorario que vive principalmente del whisky y de su condición de diplomático inglés. Así pues, el azar confierte a Fortnum en preso de un grupo de guerrilleros encabezados por un sacerdote con el que antaño le unió la amistad.Probablemente, el extraordinario éxito de la película que en 1983 rodó Mackenzie a partir de esta novela (con Michael Caine, Richard Gere, Bob Hoskins...) la ha convertido en una de las más famosas historias de Greene.
